Flower

This is a painting of a flower done in the style of Georgia O'Keefe. It is done in acrylic paint on a board. It shows emphasis mainly through the emphasis I placed on the part of the flower I chose to focus on. It also shows pattern in the center part of the flower, and space by the use of the background as negative space. Finally it also shows shape, color, and texture.

Silk Screen

This is a silk screen piece done of a dreamcatcher. It is a four layer screen print, done in ink on printing paper. It shows color by all the colors used, line through the black parts, emphasis by the emphasis placed on just the dreamcatcher, and also shape and form.

Lino Print Color

This is a print of a carving in a piece of linoleum. This is the same as the black and white, except it is done in color and shows color, line, movement, contrast and shape.

Lino Print Black & White

This is a print of a linoleum carving of dolphins under the water. the linoleum was rolled with printing ink then printed onto a piece of printing paper. This print shows, movement through the water lines, value and contrast through the color choice, shape, and line shown by the different uses of line shape, size and direction.

Seasons

This is a painting of 2 seasons in the exact same scene. The one on the right shows fall and the left shows winter. They both show emphasis on the tree, and movement either by the leaves blowing in the wind or the snow falling to the ground. Then there is an obvious use of color more so in the fall image, and texture in the grass.

Memory Project

This is a portrait that I did of an orphan boy in Cambodia. It shows emphasis because his face is the sole focus of the painting. Color and contrast are shown though the shirt and background, and space is also shown by use of the background as negative space. Lastly, texture is shown through his hair and skin.
